Dreams Deferred or Doomed — A Future Where Black Lives Matter?
August 26, 2021, 6:30 p.m. CDT
Fifty-eight years later, Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of a time when all people would enjoy the “unalienable rights” of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” has not been fulfilled. Fifty-eight years later, Black lives are still trapped in “crucifying realities” that foster death not life. What has happened to that dream? Is it simply deferred, or was it doomed from the start? Will Black lives ever really matter?
